| Osaka Beats Fukuoka, 3-2 | In a low-scoring clash between Osaka and Fukuoka, pitcher Atsuhiro Smith was a difference-maker. The left-hander earned praise for his performance in the 3-2 Sailors win. Osaka reliever Takatsugu Miyamoto snagged the win, upping his record to 5-5. Tadaatsu Miki shouldered the loss. Kinya Kodama closed the game out for Osaka, earning his 1st save.
Osaka took the lead, 3-2, on Itsuma Kaneda's 2nd home run of the season. The solo home run came off Fukuoka pitcher Tadaatsu Miki in the bottom of the seventh.
"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said Kaneda. "It sure beats the alternative."
The Sailors raised their record to 37-36.
